An individual that is heterozygous for type B blood and little finger shape mates with an individual that is heterozygous for type A blood and homozygous dominant for a bent little finger. What is the predicted genotypic ratio for this cross?
A. 9:3:3:1
B. 1:2:1
C. 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1
D. 2:1:2:1:4:1:2:1
E. 1:1:1:1

The correct option is E) 1:1:1:1

Explanation:

A punnet square in which only a single trait is being studied is a monohybrid cross. A cross in which two traits are being studied in a dihybrid cross.

As two traits are being studied in the question, hence a dihybrid cross will be made as follows:

          A-F     A-F     OF         OF

Bf     ABFf    ABFf      BOFf      BOFf

Bf    ABFf     ABFf      BOFf      BOFf

Of    AOFf    AOFf      OOFf     OOFf

Of    AOFf    AOFf      OOFf     OOFf

The results of the punnet square show that there are

4/16 chances for the offspring to have the genotype ABFf4/16 chances for the offspring to have the genotype BOFf4/16 chances for the offspring have the genotype AOFf 4/16 chances for the offspring to have the genotype OOFf

Hence, there will be an equal ratio of 1:1:1:1 for each of the genotype.

Hunting in the darksome fish rely on senses beyond sight. in the darkness of the marianas trench, a fish called the rattail has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. the fish uses scent, rather than sight, to steer toward food. once it's near food, the rattail uses a special organ on the bottom of its chin to guide itself by feel.marine snowone staple of the deep sea diet is "marine snow," flakes of organic, edible substances that sink down from the upper ocean. animals at the ocean's bottom find sustenance in everything from the bodies of dead creatures to fecal matter. marine snow is diverse enough to support numerous species. for instance, several species of snails and worms feed exclusively on deceased whales.microorganismsthe deep sea is an intricate ecosystem, and even the ocean floor itself plays a part. hydrothermal vents are cracks in the sea floor where erupting magma mixes with ocean water to produce plumes of hot, sulfur-rich chemicals. some microbes can use these chemicals for energy, sustaining their existence and that of the animals who depend on their roles in the deep sea food chain.
